TRULY A GREAT RECORD.
The Wonderful Increase in Railroads
Railroad Men.

-tSttilIOdO N1Ou
From a Speech By Chauacy NJ Dcpeag.
Forty-6ve years ago the parent of all the
railroads in the Grand Central depot was
opened-the old Harlem Railrcad-and at
that time there were $50 miles of railroads
in the United States, and 1000 railroad
employees; forty years ago the Hudson river,
and the New York and New Haven rail-
roads were opened. and at that time there
we're 1000 miles of railroads and 5000 rail-
road employees, and 5000, 900 of railroad
capital to-day, forty years after, there are
100000 miles of railroads, 100000 railroad
employees, and $500, ,000, 900 invested in rail-
road capital in the United States Jap
plause All other agencies combined are
as nothing compared with what the rail-
road has done ia the development OF the
United States, and in making this country
precisely what it is For every mile of rail-
road as it is built out ON the prairie 100,-
600 acres Of land are brought under cJlltiva-
tion, and that l00,0 600 acres of land flaming
with harvest next year, adds that much
TO the wealth, happiness and prosperity OF
the country. One of our railroads four
years ago extended its line during the sum-
mer 800 miles across the unbroken prairie,
where the only inhabitants were the prairie
wolf and prairie dog. and the next year the
duce came over the line to feed the workers
of the East, added millions to the national
wealth. and the wilderness had become an
embryo State of the American Union. [Ap-
plause.l
Now, there were cast in the last Presiden-
tial election 10, coo, 600 votes. OF that 10,-
600 900 of votes it is safe to say that 10000
of them were wage-earners, as distinguished
from farmers, merchants ara professional
men, and of that 5, ,000,00 of wage-earners,
700 900 were railroad men, so of the wage-
earners of the United States, every fifth
man was getting his living out of the rail-
road When you take the 700 900 railroad
employees and their families, giving them an
average of six each, and the 100000 OF
men who are engaged in the manufacture
of railroad supplies and the men, women
and children who are dependent upon the
income from SS00,000000 invested in
railroads, you have, of the 600O0,000
of people of the United States one-haf of
them living upon the railroads. Jap
plause.
We have not yet begun to appreciate who
these railroad men are and what they are
doing and have done. You hear a ranting
demagogue bowling about the danger Of
railroad influence and 'ailroad men in poll
tics; you read wild statements about tho
peril to the public veal from the men in tho
railway service Take the census of all
other omployments and ascertain how many
commit crimes and break the laws and are
brought up before the police courts, and
then take an equal number of railroad men
and make a comparison, and you will find,
every time that the record of law-abiding
citizenship is on the side of the railroad
men. [Applause.]

Mr.. O'Brien Burns Copy of the Proc
lamation Forbidding 1t.

DUBLIN, Oct 16-The meeting at Wood
ford, which was proclaimed by the govern
ment, was held to-day, the proceedings be-
ing conducted by Messrs. O'Brien, McGil
and others. The telegraph wires were cut
about midnight Saturday, thus preventing
communication with Dublin.
Mr.. O'Brien was received by a great
crowd with rousing cheers. He burned a
copy of the proclamation forbidding the
holding of the meeting. This act aroused
the widest enthusiasm. Five other men,
bers of Parliament made addresses. The
meeting dispersed in an orderly manner just
as the police put in an appearance.
THE GOVERNMENT MUST ACT.
LONDON, Oct. 16.-The Morning Post,
referring editorially to the meeting at
Woodford, says: 1T is utterly impossible
for the government to abstain from taking
very decisive action against those who thus
contemptuously set them at defiance"
The Standard thinks that the authorities
are somewhat blamable for the absence of
police from the Woodford meeting It
hopes Mr.. Balfour will take immediate
action regarding what it calls Mr.. O'Brien's
reasonable performance.
